It is by default so and this is good. It is much better to see the translation units in this way, as it prevents you from damaging the units delimeters.
My advice would be to get used to this view - it does no harm, but helps.

If you really want to see only the translated text, so via Tools - Options - View you can select, that Word shall not show hidden text (not recommended, however).

The source text and delimeters are formatted as hidden text, so all you need to do is to advise Word not to show hidden text.
This can be done via Tools - Options - View.
I don´t have an eglish version of Word, so I cannot give you the names of each option.
